Thoor Ballylee temporary closure Monday 27th June & Monday 4 July

Due to ESB doing electricity work in the area Thoor Ballylee will be closed Monday 27th June 2016, and in addition Monday 4 July 2016. However the tower is open every day for all of the rest of the summer, complete with its new exhibitions and Yeats’s old winding stair.

Please accept our apologies for these two days of closure. We hope to see you back at this historic building another time.

Yeats Thoor Ballylee Society

Welcome to Thoor Ballylee.
This fourteenth-century Hiberno-Norman tower was described by Seamus Heaney as the most important building in Ireland, due to its close association with his fellow Nobel Laureate for literature, W.B.Yeats. The Yeats Thoor Ballylee Society are actively seeking funds to ensure the tower and associated cottage are permanently restored and reopened to visitors as a cultural and educational centre.
